Linux Mint 22

Im a hobbiest who just learned how to self host my website over the summer. I didn’t know anything so I went with what I knew which is a fresh install of linux and installing from the package manager. As im getting more serious im starting to take another look at docker. Unforunately my OS package manager only has old outdated versions of docker I may need to reinstall with like ubuntu/debian LTS server something with more cutting edge software in repo. I don’t care much for building from scratch and navigating dependency roulette.

From what Ive seen in arguments about this, Plex generally is more accessible with QoL and easier to understand interface for non-techie people to share with family/friends. Something thats hard for nerdy people to understand is that average people are perfectly fine paying for digital goods and services. They happily pay premiums just to not have to rub two braincells together. If you figure out how to make a very useful plug-an-play service that works without the end user of average intelligence/domain knowledge stressing about how to set up, maintain, and navigate confusing layouts, you’ve created digital gold.

1. Download server files and run them. Modern Minecraft requires java runtime enviroment 17, 1.16 and belore jre8. If you have synaptic package manager search for jre there.
2. I usually make a batch file to execute server. set memory size usage, nogui and stuff.
3. Open up the port for default mc server in your router. 25565, TCP+UDP, in out both ways. Make exceptions in your firewall too.
